BEST ANSWER:Yes, open the box and go. You DO have to attach the foot rests if you use them . . . and there's a bar that slips into notches behind the backrest. The bar is a stablizer. I WOULD buy the travel carrying case, which I did not. IT's just handier to have all the corners, etc. of the chair confined within the bag so you don't snag anything.
